Maintaining a resource-optimal vSphere infrastructure is a critical day-to-day operation and should be performed with a strict focus on delivering adequate resources to the virtual machines (VMs) at any given time.
The resources of your vSphere infrastructure are limited, even though vSphere provides many overcommitment techniques so that you can assign more resources than you physically have, but you should try to avoid contention scenarios at all costs because such contention can significantly affect your applications' and workloads' performance.
One of the fundamental techniques that you can use to provide the best possible performance to your VMs is resources, limits, and shares, which you can use to fine-tune resource allocation to different vSphere objects, such as VMs, vApps, and resource pools.
Using vMotion, you can freely move your workloads...
